Dinner on Monday, December 14 at 6:30 p.m. Shirley is trying to get the same price as last year.
Rachel passed out a list of policies that need to be reviewed. The meeting room policy will need to be
established in cooperation with the Recreation Center. Some items to think about: Do we charge non-
profit? Do we charge profit? How do we work with Parks and Recreation? The library board discussed
the pros and cons of charging non-profits and for-profits. The building is designed so that the library
can be blocked off while programs are in progress.
The Borrowers Policy revision is in progress. One example of a change might be the number of DVDs
checked out on one card. Currently it is ten per card with two renewals.
The library will be purchasing Ingram Downloadable Books.
